Publish the Obsidian vault's Knowledge folder as /knowledge (881 notes, 67 folders), with a Knowledge item in the nav and footer. - scripts/import_knowledge.py regenerates data/knowledge from the vault: slugged paths, folder notes as index pages, wikilinks resolved to site links (or plain text), callouts, highlights, and Dataview tables rendered statically. Personal notes are withheld via an exclusion list plus a privacy guard. - tuftecms/core/knowledge.py builds a concept index from note titles and aliases. First mentions on ordinary pages link to their Knowledge note (capped, never in headings, code, links, or sidenotes); Knowledge pages list related notes and where they're mentioned across the site; other pages get a Related Knowledge block. - Knowledge URLs join sitemap.xml (so the sweep test covers them), never displace existing legacy slugs, list alphabetically, and mermaid diagrams render client-side only on pages that have them.

## The Stone
|
||
|
||
Fluorite is the most flamboyant of the ordered stones, banded in ribbons of purple, green, blue and clear that flow through a single crystal like watercolour in glass. It grows in perfect cubes and octahedra, geometry made visible, and under ultraviolet light it glows — indeed it gave the word “fluorescence” to science. The colours are cool and translucent, and where two shades meet the boundary is often knife-sharp, one hue set cleanly against the next.
|
||
|
||
There is a paradox to it. So structured in its crystal habit, so orderly in its cubic form, yet so painterly in its colour — as if chaos and order had agreed to share a stone.

## Properties
|
||
|
||
Fluorite is the stone of mental clarity — the great organiser. It is turned to when thoughts tangle, when too many tabs are open in the mind and none will close; it sorts, files, and clears, drawing order out of chaos. Ruled by Mercury, it sharpens focus, aids study and decision-making, and steadies scattered concentration into a single clean line. Working through the third eye, it clarifies perception and cuts through confusion and muddled intention, leaving the mind cool, quiet, and able to think.
|
||
|
||
## In Practice
|
||
|
||
A favourite of students and desk-workers, it is kept near books and screens to hold concentration through long hours. Held to the brow in meditation, it settles mental noise and clears the head before difficult thinking. Purple fluorite deepens intuition; green leans toward the heart and emotional order. Being soft, it scratches easily and dislikes prolonged water, so it is cleansed gently.
